Akka is alive

Earlier this month, I had a discussion about why Guardians cannot be taken. I believe this is because we have already been reanimated, the Darkness cannot reanimate us for its own purposes. However, this is not my main point. One person mentioned how the Light cannot be Taken. This is false. [quote]How did you take (or rather, un-Take) the Blighted Light that Oryx gathered to offer in sacrifice to Akka, and ignite it so that it burned and burned the Darkness? It was barely Light anymore. But you took it. And when you took it, you did not keep it. You set it free.[/quote] After I mentioned this, the Guardian mentioned Akka's death. [quote]Auryx the First Navigator set upon his god with his sword and his words, and cut Akka to pieces, and took from those pieces the secret of calling upon the Deep. He wrote this secret on a set of tablets, which he called the Tablets of Ruin. And he wore them about his waist.[/quote] We also know is that Orxy took a piece of Akka and fashioned it into his Deadnaught.[quote]To make his ship, Oryx scrimshawed one piece of Akka, who was dead but far from gone. He stole the Hammer of Xivu Arath and the Scalpel of Savathûn and he armored his ship in baneful armor.[/quote] However, Akka is not dead. He resides in a throne world much like Oryx's. [quote]SAVATHÛN said, Auryx my brother and king, [b]I have studied the wounds cut by the Worm our God.[/b] Also I have studied the manner of your death and return. These two things are the same, for they are predicated on death and the passage through cut spaces. Let us practice the sword logic until we are sharp. We may then cut our own wounds and step through.[/quote] And there you have it. Akka the worm is not gone, we will one day have to face him and his champions.

  • They did basically say he was "dead but not gone," in the Books of Sorrow, and he is a god, so it's not surprising that can return. That said, I did not know he returned already, and thank you for pointing it out. The part about sacrificing the blighted light to Akka is the strongest piece of evidence for it, and you could have proved his return with just that quote alone. I know Akka has a fan here who will really be glad that it is alive again
